Chapter 176: Yan Ying and Her Monkey
Nozen's restraint effect on the earth beast saved my life at a critical moment. Qi Dong wanted to run when he saw that the situation was not good, but he was stopped by someone when he retreated to the door.
"Where are you going?"
Zhong Yong grabbed Qi Dong's shoulder with one hand, twisted Qi Dong's arm with the other hand, and pressed down, Qi Dong immediately half-bent down.
"Oops!"
Qi Dong, whose arm was pulled, shouted.
"Everything has been figured out, this guy used earth beasts to kill people, and he just confessed, what should I do next?"
I ran to the door of the tent and hurriedly said when I saw Qi Dong being restrained.
"Just leave it to me, go, while it's still dark. We rushed back. ”
While speaking, Zhong Yong took out a small pill and stuffed it into Qi Dong's mouth, Qi Dong, who was still struggling, immediately became honest, and fell to the ground crookedly, and actually fainted.
"No, Brother Yong, you take someone away first, and I still have to find Yan Ying to understand some information. ”
Zhong Yong heard this and glanced at me, in fact, he knew that I wanted to know about the monkey spirit and the monkey, but he didn't say anything and said a word of caution before carrying Qi Dong out. I walked to the outside of Yanying's tent in the dark, the tent was dark, and I stood at the door and called softly: "Yanying, are you there?"
After a while, there was no movement inside, first the light was lit, and then the door was opened, Yan Ying's eyes still looked confused, and she yawned and said, "Why are you?
"Qi Dong has just been arrested by us. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Ying's face immediately changed in shock, and after glancing outside, she hurriedly said, "Come in, talk in the house." ”
After entering the house, I briefly told Qi Dong about it, and Yan Ying waited cross-legged on the bed for a while before saying, "This guy also deserves it, his heart is too bad." If you have caught it well, you should let him suffer. By the way, why did you come to me just to tell me about it?"
Shaking his head, he sorted out his thoughts and said, "Yan Ying, can you tell me about your monkey?"
"My monkey, what are you going to do about this?"
She was alert, her face was serious, and she didn't seem to want to reveal too much.
"Truth be told, my brothers and I have been tracking down the purple-haired monkey that appeared last time. That monkey is a big demon, and his skills are strong and his whereabouts are erratic. There are many people on the road who are staring at its head now, and it stands to reason that it should be better to hide it at this cusp. But it chose to come out at this time to save your monkey, there must be something greasy in this. Although I can't find the purple-haired monkey, maybe I can find it by accident from the line of your monkey. ”
I spoke.
Yan Ying rubbed her hair, as if she was thinking about it, and I didn't rush it. After a while, she spoke: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell you, I also have some friends who know about my monkeys." It's just that you also know that my monkey is not ordinary, I'm afraid that there are more people who know, and some people have the idea of it, and there are many people who do your kind of business outside and some of them are not very reasonable, and they don't want to die when they see money. ”
"Rest assured, I'm not that kind of person. ”
"Hmm...... My monkeys were picked up by me when I was a child. My hometown is in Gongyi, Henan, and I am still from the countryside. When I was a child, I often saw monkeys in the mountains and forests. Some monkeys are afraid of people and don't get close to them, while others are fierce. There are also people in our village who raise monkeys, but although the monkeys are smart, they are not well-behaved, and it is even more difficult to tame them. They often have to catch small monkeys and raise them from childhood to adulthood. When I was 10 years old, I went up the mountain with a few village kids to play, and I was crazy about it, and by the time I got down, it was dark. As I walked down the hill, I heard a slight cry in the nearby woods and rocky fields, one after the other, like a bird's cry and a child's cry. I went over and took a look, and that's how I found my monkey. ”
Hearing this, it's not bizarre, it can only be said that Yan Ying is very lucky. You can pick up an earth beast casually.
"I took the little monkey home, but my parents refused to raise it at first, and my family was not in good condition, and it was a poor peasant family in need. In some cases, it is necessary to rely on the state to allocate food. Moreover, it was still three years of natural disasters, and people could not survive anywhere with leftover rations to raise monkeys. The father also said that it was better to sell the little monkey to see if anyone wanted it, or to slaughter it and eat the meat. I hear it say that every day, and I'm scared. At night, I escaped with my monkey in my arms and went straight into the mountains. At that time, I was also young, and I didn't think about what to do in the future. When he hid in the mountains, he had nothing to eat, and soon fainted from hunger. When he woke up, he saw a pile of wild fruits in front of him. The little monkey sat next to him and munched on the wild fruit, and smiled at me vigorously. Since then, I have felt that my little monkey is extraordinary. ”
Monkeys are inherently intelligent, and they are born with a high level of intelligence, not to mention the monkeys that have become earth beasts, and it is not surprising that this wisdom is similar to that of humans.
"I hid in the mountains for about half a month, and I wasn't hungry at all. When I went back, my parents thought I was dead in the mountains, and they hugged me and cried. In addition, the little monkey began to take wild fruits to the house, and my father thought that it was better to keep it and have fruits to eat every day than to sell it for food. So my little monkey was left behind, and the little monkey grew stronger and stronger day by day, and by the time I was sixteen, my monkey was about the same height as me. And it is particularly fierce, Murakami sometimes passes by the wild dog, and when he sees it, he is frightened and runs away. Once, I took a little monkey into the mountains to collect firewood, and I met a ferocious wild boar, whose body was very strong, and its fangs were five or six centimeters long. I didn't expect to be beaten to the ground by my monkey three or two times, and I also cheapened my family with a meal of pork. ”
Hearing this, I smiled, since ancient times, the second senior brother has not been the opponent of the senior brother.
"I took the little monkey into the city when I was seventeen years old to make a living. I didn't know what to do at that time, but when I was particularly confused, I saw a grass stage team performing acrobatics. Some people tame bears and blind people, many people watch them, and there are middle peasants and rich peasants who give money. I was thinking that my little monkey was much smarter than this blind bear. It's definitely better than a bear blind man, so I found a circus. Unexpectedly, as soon as they saw my little monkey, they immediately asked for me. Since then, I have embarked on the path of performing circus, and my monkeys have become smarter and smarter day by day, and then they are basically the same as ordinary people, except that they can't speak, and they don't need me to tame wild animals and the like at all. ”
"I've seen that. ”
I said with a smile.
"That's pretty much it, I don't know why the purple-haired monkey wants to save my monkey, I guess it's the same kind of helping each other. Sometimes animals are more affectionate than we are. ”
I didn't have a clue when I heard this, and after thinking about it, I asked, "What was your monkey like when you first picked it up?"
"That was all years ago, I think about it...... It doesn't seem to be any different from other monkeys, but it has a very wrinkled face that looks like an old man. ”
"What about the hair?
I asked.
"Mao? Speaking of Mao, I think that our monkeys used to shed their hair when they were young, and the hair that came back was golden, and it looked like gold. My dad thought it was really gold, so he took it out and sold it, and he was laughed at by others. ”
I frowned, it stands to reason that the purple-haired monkey and the Yanying monkey should belong to two subspecies, and they are like Europeans looking at us Asians.
"Okay, let's talk about it here, I'll go back. ”
I stood up, ready to go.
"That...... I'm not worried about my monkeys, but I hope that if you see them, they'll come back soon. Also, I hope you and your brother don't hurt it, my monkey is not bad. ”
The mouth said that he was not worried, but in fact, it was written on his face.
"Okay. ”
I nodded, got out of the tent and left the circus, walking in the direction of home. There is still a long way to get to the fat man's house from here, and there are no buses at this point in the evening. I guess it should be almost daylight when I walked back, and I rubbed my eyes, and I was really sleepy.
There was no one on the street either, and a few street lamps were broken, so I walked briskly against the wall, but a few figures appeared faintly in front of me. “
